EATALY EX-CARPANO
Via Nizza 230, TurinReinterpreting the existing industrial architecture and adapting the building to the parameters of contemporary safety and sustainability, the project has maintained its important volumes and above all its character. Using contemporary grafts on the façade and in the interiors, in a logic of extreme construction quality, great attention was paid to the particular elements of the place and to urban redevelopment in the recovery of the ex-Carpano.
The old wall bordering the Lingotto was designed as a new entrance front: the wall, plastered and painted in the same brick-red colour as the existing buildings, is emptied by a large glass door leading to the hall built in 1929 to house the tall cylindrical cisterns, transformed into a monumental entrance to the complex.
